I once again strongly recommend getting in touch with Marius Vollmer,
the guile-gtk author, and in fact taking a look at the guile-gtk
module in CVS. It includes gtk.defs, a stylized higher-level
definition of the gtk API (and also now gdk.defs for gdk), and a
script that automatically generates Guile bindings from it. There is
also a gnome.defs in the gnome-guile module for Gnome bindings. Using
these for Common Lisp bindings especially should work very well, since
they are in an s-expression format.
